Don't use a W7; even if it fits (I'm not sure), there's not enough airspace, and I'm not sure the thunderform will even hold up to the amount of weight of that W7.

Unfortuntaley, if you want to use the T-top area...you aren't going to be using the W7 unless you want to cut your passenger side, remove the spare, and get a custom fabbed stealth enclosure for that side because there is more room. You could always sell it and use a W6 or other comparable sub. Then you could run a stealth enclosure and keep your T-top area.

W6 needs a lot of airspace as well, unless you run Linkwitz Transform

i don't think he meant that he already had a 10w7, i think he was just trying to see if it would work in that box or not....and as mentioned, the answer is no.

personally, i would match that box up with a JL Audio 10w3v3 (4-ohm), and get an amp that pushes about 300w - 400w into a single channel (or two channels, bridged) to power it.

I run a pair of RE Audio SE10 in a stealth enclosures that do very well. The CDT EF-100 does great in them but has less excursion. I had the W3V2 D2 in the same enclosure. The CDT is a tighter sounding sub but both sound good. Both can be powered with 300watts rms efficiently. TC Sounds Epic Series 10" sub would work in a stealth as well but you'd need more amp..600w-750watts rms. There are several other options as well.
